A sad lament for the Shetland Islands

How much more wild beauty must be sacrificed for the greed of the wind power industry industry and the self-aggrandisement of politicians?

One thing you can be sure of, all the wind turbines in the world will do little if anything to save CO2 emissions.

The 1922 Committee

Elections were held yesterday to the Conservative Party 1922 Committee. Whatever else the results indicated, it is interesting to note that out of the 18 members elected Steve Baker, Guto Bebb, Bob Blackman, Karen Bradley, Nick de Bois, Graham Evans, Bernard Jenkin, Marcus Jones, Priti Patel and Heather Wheeler had all signed the letter to David Cameron against offshore windfarms. Of the four who were re-elected unopposed, three (Brian Binley, Graham Brady and Charles Walker) had also signed the letter. Let us hope they will use their influence well. And let us hope that more of them will start to speak out too against offshore wind as well.

To see the list of those who signed the letter, go to this link on our website.

The Guardian Newspaper

Particularly disappointing was the Guardian treatment of the NOW launch, when they had fun exposing private emails between members of an anti-wind farm campaign group, rather than treating the launch in a serious and balanced way.

Warning

The Register button on the NOW website appears to be faulty (or has it been hacked into?)
The figures appear to be meaningless, jumping from the thousand millions to large negative numbers in what appears to be a random fashion.

Let us hope this will be sorted out soon. It is unfortunate for all the many supporters who had registered already.

The Guardian is also displaying private emails from members of an anti-wind farm group. How did they obtain these emails?

Let none of this distract from the importance of the work that is being done in Parliament on our behalf by the NOW campaign. The wind power industry is immensely powerful: we all know that. But might isn't always right.
